"The Wolf hunts. The Wolf feeds on its prey. But this... This is different."

In the isolated town of Ashford, something old is awake-and it has teeth. 
A symbol, drawn in blood, violent visions, and an uncanny, terrifying supernatural entity.

Something hunts.
Something kills.
And it's coming for them... whether they're ready or not.

***

When Carlos Hernandez survives a brutal encounter in the woods, his life fractures overnight. Haunted by violent visions that feel more like memories than dreams, Carl begins to suspect that the monster stalking Ashford is tied to him in ways he doesn't yet understand. His body changes. His senses sharpen. And the line between hunter and hunted starts to blur.

Ashley knows more than she lets on. Raised in the shadow of the forest, she carries her own curse-and her own rules for survival. Training Carl means risking exposure, but leaving him ignorant could be fatal. 

Somewhere beyond the town limits lives Jude, a reclusive werewolf with a forbidden ability and a connection to Ashley that could unravel everything if revealed.

As the Black Wolf's attacks grow bolder, Carl is forced to confront a terrifying possibility: the monster terrorizing Ashford may not be his enemy, but his mirror. To stop it, he must uncover the town's buried history, accept what he is becoming, and decide how much of his humanity he is willing to lose.

A dark, atmospheric coming-of-age horror, The Mark blends small-town dread with supernatural mythology, exploring guilt, inheritance, and the violence we carry-whether we choose it or not.

6 Dragon Isle by Josephclive99

"Imi, I love you." Dragons are people too, but many seem to overlook the fact. In the Four Realms, all full dragons are shifters, able to take the shapes of the other six sapient species as they desire. When Imi, a half-dragon priestess of the goddess of life, and Lyle, also known as Lylnetrath, a full-dragon paladin in the service of the goddess of justice, fall in love, a whole world of dragons is exposed, kindling love and community and simultaneously drawing ire and hatred. A story of some of the dragons of the world of the Four Realms, featuring some characters already known from my earlier published stories and many others who are new. This story has three distinct parts, that of Before, told in five chapters, an Interlude, told in its entirety, and that of After, told in 17 chapters. The story is followed by several short epilogues. Part 1, part 2 and the epilogues are all told in the 3rd person. The interlude is told in the 1st person. It can be read as an independent story but some of the character backgrounds are not included and thus a few details might be a little confusing, but this should not detract from the overall story. To find my earlier stories, please visit https://www.wattpad.com/user/Josephclive99 This story contains references to sex, marriage, birth and labour, genocide, murder, delusions and extreme mental confusion, and the (magical) manipulation of people's minds. It also contains fantasy-fiction parallels to racism and hatred based on appearance, although almost all the characters are dragons and are not human at all. The tale uses the words, mad, and madness, as setting-appropriate references to mental ill-health. Note that the cover image is not owned by me. Update: if you enjoy this story, check out the parallel tale, The Dragon Isle's Mage, https://www.wattpad.com/story/403565048-the-dragon-isle%27s-mage-part-1
